Music and teaching have always been an essential part of my life: This was true as a teenager and student, when I worked in dance music bands, played in a classical guitar duo, performed in a Rock musical or taught classical guitar and electric bass. This was true when I taught literature, philosophy and mathematics as a middle and high school teacher.

I like to see people grow and believe that creative and expressive acts like music, are very fluid and don't have a one size fits all method. Read More
